A History of Serving
Throughout the years
In 1915, Indiana Freemasons founded the Indiana Masonic Home for children in need. Originally, provision was made to accommodate 50 adults and 60 children. Basic structures were planned – the Administration Building with guest rooms for adults, a residence hall for boys, residence hall for girls, hospital and service building. One year later, on Oct. 28, 1916, IMH was dedicated and the first resident moved in. Additional housing for adults soon became essential. On June 4, 1917, contracts were completed for additions to both the east and west wings of the Administration Building. From 1916 through 1975, IMH housed and cared for 816 children. Many of those “home kids” are living here today in their retirement. There is an active alumni association. www.imhkids.com
A Future of Purpose
A vibrant community
Throughout the years, more buildings were erected as needs changed and the community became a safe haven for aged brethren in the Masonic fraternity, their widows and orphans, and members of the Eastern Star. Now, as Compass Park, the community is open to Indiana adults ages 55 plus, with two vibrant independent-living communities, garden homes and apartments, assisted living apartments, and a Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center for those who need more intensive levels of care.
